Summerfest Storage??!

[Clint]

So, how are you guys storing these monster Viaje Summerfest Torpedos?

Ideally I'd like to put them in a cedar box, but even a Double Corona or Prominente is shorter!!

Rather avoid using a ZipLock...

 

[ciggy]

My opinion would be to just cut off the expossed filler. You really cant smoke it like that anyways and atleast you would be able to store in a more typical box and you could even use the cuttings as a packing for them. Just throwing it out there:scratchhe

 

[Clint]

Ciggy,

That is an interesting approach. I'd kinda like to keep the prosterity of the cigar, though. Especially if I gift or trade any down the road.

Thanks for the creative idea!

 

[Clint]

I now have THE perfect solve...

Dan from New Havana Cigars (from whence these beauties came) offered to send me an empty box!

Dan, many thanks....As usual, the great customer service comes through.

So, basically what ciggy was saying......is you should trim your viaje.

an airplane strip might help maintain "prosterity", don't ya think??

can't really smoke it like that????? i beg to differ!!!!!!

Me too. toast it, light it and smoke it. works fine. I've never done anything differt, from Gurkah to Jonny-o and Jibaro

 

[SkinsFanLarry]

Viaje, Jonny-O and Jibaro.....how could you even think about mentioning a Gurkha in that same sentence! :stretchgr

Really? i have always found it to be a pain in the arse to light them with the shagginess left intact. Plus i have never found the pleasure in smoking just filler.

You already got a box from dan so this is a moot point but i would have suggested just using a couple tatuaje J21 boxes or some dress boxes and putting them in the long way. you could probably fit a fiver in each.

SORT of a moot point....I now like your idea better! I really think you should send me the J21 boxes. I can then empty that box into another box, and use the then empty J@! box to store my Summerfests..... :stretchgr

Did i say j21 boxes? I meant garcia Y vega boxes. You don't want that yucky cedar. you want that nice hard cardboard because despite what most people will tell you it's the cardboard that the beetles hate not the cedar. your cigars will be safer under the protective wing of the garcia Y Vega english corona box. i promise

 

[Clint]

Well, okay...If you're sure the J21's will fit into the Garcia Y Vega boxes, then fine....

Touche

 

[whodeeni]

i bet a box of garcia y vega would only cost you 24.99 MSRP!:ccool:

 

[Clint]

Yes...That's the problem!

My suggestion was based on the fact that he was going to smoke them and was having difficulty with storage. Had he said he was going to trade or sell I would have told him not to cut it. Although I'm not an idiot...thanks for the insinuation!!

LOL.....wasn't meaning to insinuate that whatsoever ciggy, I really wasn't. My post was more a "play on words" than anything.....specifically the word "viaje". Apparently a lackluster attempt on my part. Hell, I would've trimmed those suckers too, as smoking filler has no appeal to me.

i got it!

well, only when I'm rollin' blunts Bob!

otherwise, you got me...I smoke filler, binder, and wrapper. I'm not to imply I've never smoked "the shag" on a shaggy, but an inch and a half, as it is on this stick, is pretty extreme.
